    Your right Seth...all you gotta do is floor it and release the button...nothin to it...I need to tell that to the 5 drivers that redlighted against me:D

    John I get the jest of what you mean...I'm proud of my car, but I'm humble at the same time...I drive a Maverick:p
    Now the "car" has a problem with being humble when it moves into the burnout box...stand within 50 ft of it it'll let you hear what I'm talkin about.
    I never had any idea until Friday night at Tand T... I was 600 ft away in the pits when my builder took it for a pass...I couldn't see him and I hear what sounds like a pro mod doing a burnout so I walk to a point where I can see and I'm like holy @%&^$ thats' my lil' ole Maverick waking the dead.:)

    i know what you guys mean. before the car was painted nobody paid any attention to it. now people want there picture taken with it. last saturday night there were some young girls taking pictures of it in the pits. it was hard not to go over and just start talking about it. :)

    Now, Don, do you really expect us to believe that the motiviation to "go over" was to talk about the car? I refer back to the first sentence of the quote for my suspicion.:16suspect

    Don, being a married man of over 23 years, I should've remembered that the wife still controls us even when we are not within sight. My apologies for doubting your motives, sir.:tiphat:

    here is a different angle rick. maybe the rollout in the other lane was off or had been adjusted or bumped. maybe in practice it was fine then it changed. kinda weird that 5 guys redlighted
